Anaheim Resort Transit

Those of you who are new to Anaheim will want to go to the Anaheim Rapid Transit or ART site and download the map of routes and stop locations. The little red trolleys have 16 routes with Disneyland's main entrance as their hub and dozens of other stops at hotels, restaurants and shopping centers. Virtually every route includes the Convention Center as a stop. There are kiosks on the streets and at some sites where you can buy passes as they discourage taking money on the trolleys but will accept $3 exactly for a fare. I believe a five day pass is $12. Hours of operation are 8am to midnight with shuttles every 20 minutes for 14 of the 16 routes.

ALA Shuttles - Sponsored by Gale Cengage Learning

Free shuttle buses, sponsored by Gale Cengage Learning, will operate between all participating hotels and the Anaheim Convention Center during the conference. Service will also be provided for attendees with disabilities. Shuttle bus service schedules (including daily pickup times, locations and destinations) will be published in Cognotes (the daily show newspaper available during the conference) and will be available onsite. Complimentary bus service is provided by Gale Cengage Learning. Don’t forget to stop by their booth and say thanks for the lift!

New California Cell Phone Law

On July 1 there is a new cell phone law in California (and in many other states.) California has the strictest laws:

Cell phones must be used hands-free

Text-messaging prohibited while driving

Bus drivers (school or transit) can't phone and drive

Teen/provisional driving laws that ban cell phone use

Police will be actively looking for drivers with cell phones at their ears -- a good revenue source for the police department.
